Was deeply obsessed with them for a hot minute back in the day in their early songs. They really do have some great bops but the most approachable visuals in the industry, their early videos were a visual feast AND had listenable vocally charged music.

Their vocal line is insane. Hui and Jinho are some of the best vocalist in Kpop especially Jinho.

Jinho used to be a SM trainee and even appeared in of those "SM the Ballad songs" along with Jonghyun (R.I.P) and Kyuhyun and held his own. I think he was supposed to be added to EXO but got cut in the last minute and then left the company?

I don't think the line up is different either.

 

The GOT The Beat stage was shown in the SMCU trailer (green/camo outfits) and it looks like the same 7 members, though there could always be a surprise.

 

The problem with a new unit is that GOT The Beat is an essentially flawless line up, idk how they will top it

Yes, I think at this point its confirmed that the line up is the same
 

They don‘t need to top the old line up but imagine Joy, Irene, Yoona, Yuri and NingNing in the same group.

I think Jinho has said publicly that he wasn't meant to be in EXO but another group, so I think he was actually meant to be in NCT. Considering he left in 2015 (just under a year before NCT debut) that would make sense. He was kinda in the same position as Hansol I guess (who participated in pre-debut projects, but didn't make the final cut).

 

NCT Johnny was the one meant for EXO I believe, but for whatever reason he was cut from the line up at the last minute.

I would be here for a super feminine, sultry GOT unit from these 5, they would absolutely eat that kind of concept alive.

Speaking of Johnny, I remember people in here mentioning that he was a trainee for 9 YEARS  Like how is it possible to be a freaking trainee for a whole decade, and the only thing you're good at is showing your stomach  

Where's the talent?

Omg SKZFLIX has finally been revealed, bestie @xrosup It's a musical drama, and they are all debuting as actors  Though I wonder why they announced SKZFLIX at the end of 2021 only to say at the end of 2022 that it's actually coming out in 2023 

 

What is a "music drama"?  It seems the members are clueless as well 

And if their acting on the Lonely St. mv is anything to go by, maybe this project isn't the best idea for them

“Lonely St.” MV should even exist to begin with, like I can’t believe we got an MV for this boring song instead of “Charmer” 

 

Well let’s hope Lee Minho live up to his full name at least 

[ItsJustMe.]

the person that made this had to have me in mind

 

with CHASE flopping into oblivion I need y'all to stream The Fabulous

It’s the fact that NJ was essentially supposed to be an SM group featuring Ningning, Winter, Karina, Koeun, Lami, and Hina until MHJ left. She just wanted more creative control and Hybe gave her so much freedom they didn’t even know about NJ’s debut until the day of.

Sooya Mommy is not going be Korea’s darling anymore, and her “Good Girl Gone Bad” era is upon us. Give us her solo NOW

0:19  the voice crack 

at least they are singing live and that proves it. 

 

I mean even this vocal queen crack on stage so it's pretty normal  

I prefer more voices cracking than a full lipsync performance

SM went from having SNSD to Fx & RV I don’t think it’s nothing new SM is used to 
 

aespa is a BG atp they sell so SM can debut another GG 

 

 

[Sorecer]

Oh wow this is probably my fave IVE Live in such a long time. The are enjoying it and some of them are nervous specially Yujin 

finally no robotic performance 

 

I want more of this please

one thing SM do fear is IVE, they invited SEVERAL IVE producers/writers from ELEVEN/LOVE DIVE to a SM camp (and these people aren't regular kpop producers )

I love how SM stans have erased SM’s attempt at making a 2nd BTS from

their memories 

 

SM absolutely watches & reacts to the industry.

y’all always saying this and it just doesn’t seem realistic since y2k wasn’t that big of a trend when those girls were still in sm….like are there any articles where mhj says that was her plan?

@Mel. let's not fail him and support him.

 

 

 

 

 

I will be supporting

but I thought it was weird to have him on this show 

he literally just debuted with CIIPHER...are they on the verge of disbanding?

 

I heard about that mess with Rain abandoning them, so did Keita just jump ship before the boat starts sinking?

[Mel.]

Support Kyrstian (NanJun) on BOYS PLANET

he's an all-rounder and ace!

 

he was on Youth With You season 3 and a member of the global group NOW UNITED

He trained for 9 years because he was a "part-time" trainee. His parents only let him join SM if he still continued his high school in Chicago.

 

So he would go to school in the U.S. and then train in Korea during the breaks. He only became a "full-time" trainee after he graduated high school in 2013 and moved to Korea.

 

That's why it took 9 years I guess (though in reality it was probably only about 3-4 years of actual training in total).

No this is just industry standard practice to hire songwriters with a proven track record.

 

HYBE did the same when they hired RV's songwriters to get Impurities for LSRFM (which sounds exactly like a Velvet leftover for RV).

Aespa hold the record for biggest hit and biggest physical (1.8M with a mini) and we’re almost 5 years into Gen 4, ladies. SM isn’t fuming at anyone except themselves for not milking them more.

Baby, SM literally started the trend of Western producers and lyricists. They’re going to attach anyone they can to their company.

MHJ doesn’t follow trends. She has been doing the same themes since early 2nd Gen. The reason NJ smashing is so special is because it’s showing a 15 year veteran getting their flowers with their passion project.
